If there is one thing that looks silly, it is a dog in a pirate outfit. If there is one thing that looks sillier than a dog in a pirate outfit…it is a dog in a pirate outfit with a blue snipe on his shoulder. Yet here the both were in front of me…the snipe flapped it’s wings and made it’s best effort at squawking like a parrot. What came out was more like an eagle swallowing a screaming cat.
“Is the circus in town?, I said looking at the dog and snipe…no…no…wait…let me guess…is it Halloween already? No…wait…let me guess…This is a case of a snipe with a large growth that started out as a wart on it’s behind? Right?”
“Very funny,” said Winston with a smirk.
“What on earth…” I started.
“…in heavens,” Winston interrupted.
“Yes…what in heavens are you doing?”
“Oh get off the stick, Winston said rolling his eyes, get in the spirit of things. The vast sea; the tall masts, yo-ho-ho-ho and a bottle of kibble…”
“…rum,” I interrupted.
“You order what you want, I will order what I want, Winston replied. But that’s not the point…the point is you had a visitor from Buc’s den. It appears two pirate ships are busy trying to blast each other out of the water off the coast of buc’s den.”
“Oh my gosh that’s terrible!”
“Why? Winston asked simply. Your visitor didn’t seem upset. As a matter of fact, between long gulps of whisky and throwing up into the dolphin pool…yes I cleaned it up already…he said he only stopped by so you wouldn’t miss the fun. He said there hasn’t been this much pirate action in town since old peg leg hid 30 beavers in Magilicuty ‘s tavern overnight…wow…I’ll just bet thirty drunken beavers make quite a mess eh? I wonder what he was getting even for? Anyway. Your visitor seemed to think it was all just a bit of good natured fun. What fun eh?”
“Oh sure,” I said rolling my eyes, “…loads of fun….”
“Oh boy you sure do know how to poop in the punchbowl don’t you? Winston turned and headed toward the door. He shouted over his shoulder,Well. Sarah and I are off to Buc’s den to see if we can rent a little dingy.”
“Why bother?” I shouted after Winston, who was already half way downstairs,”…you’re already a little dingy…the both of you…”
The Quest: Have you ever wanted to feel the wind in your sails (other than after a hard night of drinking with Winston)? Have you longed for a bit of adventure on the high seas? Is rum your drink of choice? Do you have a bit of pirate in your blood? Here is a quest for all…two pirate ships have been blasting away at each other off the coast of Buc’s den. What are they fighting over? Well…it’s in treasure chests on each of the two ships and you will just have to find it…BUT…when you do find it…keep it. There will be more than one treasure chest and the objects in them will respawn at intervals. The one who brings me the most of these objects by this Saturday night at 8:00 pm central wins! The quest will start late tonight…did I say late? Yes…late…and I mean…late…
